Communicative problems of Professional Students

Lack
of confidence: Of late, good
communication skills are absolutely vital for everyone for the successful
career. Confidence is the key to success. Majority of the engineering students’
especially Telugu medium and rural area students are found lack of confidence.
Interestingly I have come across a few students who are good at English
speaking are also unable to speak well by standing before audience due to lack
of confidence. It is necessary on the part of engineering students to overcome
this hurdle by developing self confidence in themselves.

The
Psychological pressure: I have
also heard another common most important communicative problem among the
engineering students is the psychological pressure of making mistakes in the
presence of their classmates. By having these kinds of psychological feelings,
the students are unable to communicate effectively.

Lack
of exposure to English speaking:
Since their childhood the students have been speaking in their respective
dialects or mother tongue and they do not have proper exposure to speaking in
English.

Fear
and shyness: The surprising note
is that most of the engineering students are basically strong in their academic
but poor in the segments of communication skills. As a result of this, they do
have fear and shyness while communicating with others. Due to these twin
hurdles they may remain as ineffective communicators.

Inadequate
practice: This is considered
another very important problem among the engineering students. In spite of the
fact that they are lagging behind in communication skills, they do not practice
more. They are quite aware that they word power is inadequate, poor in sentence
construction, poor in listening skills etc. Only a few students who are very
serious about their bright future and career will practice well and eventually
succeed in their endeavours.
